Well I had two pairs of Authenitcs, One was Black with Gothic grape stitching and laces. The others were just black. My Gothic grape ones I skated for a month and already had needed a new pair or cover it with shoe goo. My others for casual wear were really good. There nice and stylish and can look good with almost anything....But It was pure black, and i could see stains so easily. And I only wore then inside places. No lie I would ride to a mall in my old shoes then change them once i get inside...Weird fetish but still.... This shoe is still worth its price.... I just don't recommend it for skating purposes unless its long-boarding or cruising.

I would not buy this product again

Please note, and socialize accordingly, that I've lost trust with the Vans brand as a result of the diminishing product quality along with inflexible customer service opportunities.

While I agree and believe it is fair to establish a baseline warranty period, it is discouraging to know there was not much consideration at all into my situation. To be frank, I'm not quite sure you opened the images but solely acknowledged >6 months since the order date and moved on. Had your team seen and evaluated the pictures, I would hope that your shock would match what mine has been for months now. Once a week, 6-8 hours per day, for ~9 months = +/- 300 walking hours. That's TWELVE DAYS. I could not walk in your shoes for 12 days without them falling a part. I have leftover pizza that has lasted longer. To define a shoe return/support policy by "6 months" duration without knowing usage by mileage or hours walked is laughable.

I also work in a product + service oriented field and know policy and guidelines are established for a reason, so I digress. I do hope you are able to route the quality concerns to your quality control team in hopes to prevent issues in the future.

I live in sandals in the summer but needed something sturdier for walking up cobblestone paths on Santorini. Someone told me about Vans and I bought a pair. They are the most comfortable and useful shoes I have ever owned. I plan to buy more in other colors when I get home.
